20.01.2022 At approximately 2am this morning Tuesday the 29th of September, Somerville and Baxter Fire Brigade were responded to an ammonia leak at a chicken processing facility in Somerville. Upon arrival the staff were evacuated from the site and extra CFA crews from Langwarrin Fire Brigade (CFA) and Somers Fire Brigade along with Fire Rescue Victoria Pumper 88, Hazmat 88 and Pumper 91B were responded to assist in isolating the leak and making the area safe for the workers to return t...o work. Incident Controller Lieutenant Josh Caron said "CFA and FRV crews worked seamlessly to stop the leak and ensure there was no further risk to any of the staff on site or general public. This incident is a great example of interoperability between the two fire services." At the height of the incident there was 12 fire appliances on scene and 50 Firefighters. Fire crews were on scene for a total of 5 hours. Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria also attended. No one was harmed as a result of the incident. #WeWorkAsOne CFA (Country Fire Authority)

13.01.2022 This year, RUOK Day falls on World Suicide Prevention Day. It’s okay not to be feeling okay. During these challenging times connection is key. We all need to commit to having difficult conversations. It's especially important in times like this where we are separated from those we care about to stop and ask "R U OK".... Give someone a call, or have a zoom coffee. Just remember, there's more to say after "R U OK". Learn what to say at ruok.org.au Let's look after each other and get through this together.

10.01.2022 Tell you what Somerville. Sitting here listening to the rain is a far, far cry from where we were last year. We'd like to thank you all for your support over the last 12 months. It's obviously been a trying time for everyone - maintaining our response to the community has been our top priority, and it's been a learning experience for everyone. As we're coming into warmer weather we'd ask everyone to start thinking about their fire plan and preparing their property for summer.... There are great resources on the CFA website: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/pla/how-to-prepare-your-property Big thank you as well to the people who expressed an interest in joining after last year, and are now doing their General Fire Fighter training. The patience displayed by our new recruits has been fantastic. Thanks all - stay safe!
